How Open Are You About Your Bisexuality?

[RRRalph]

RRRalph, I think it's good that you bumped this thread. I had almost forgotten about it and it really is a good thing to have around here.

Thanx dude

I am planning on telling some more of my friends eventually, I just feel like I need to wait for the right time. Dunno when that time will be but hopefully soon.

Good luck with it!

Everything else is the same and I still don't have a gf/bf/lover.
Hopefully that last thing will change soon, too!

I'm sure you will have someone soon!

1) ... to your family

I'm not sure how much longer I'll take to come out to them... probably not until I have a real reason to, like if I have a semi-serious relationship with a guy or something along those lines. I already know I'll come out to my sister first HAHA my father will easily be the hardest... he is def a bit of a homophobe. =( hmm...

2) ... to your friends

I am out to three friends. two of whom helped hook me up with my current 'lover' i guess LOL they are all girls, close friends, and support me totally in it. I can talk to them about it anytime, which REALLY helps.

3) ... to your gf / bf

I know that I would probably only do that if it became a LTR, where they probably deserve to know most of my secrets i suppose...

4) ... to your lover

he knows I'm bi. he is as well. =]

5) ... at work

I doubt I would find a need to be. Unless I thought one of them was hot =] haha

6) ... in public :

In my current town, I doubt any PDA with a guy would be something I could do carelessly. However when I move, the new city is MUCH more open to the LGBT community so I would probably have no problem with it.

Ralph, I just wanted to let you know what a great thread this is. Myself I have been going thru some counseling to help be better understand the bisexual side of me. One step closer to being free with myself without punishing myself for my desires.

I started the thread, so i will start answering this question .


My family knows about my sexuality. It was really hard to tell them. Mom is supportive, but dad is a macho kind of man. Having a son who fuck guys doesn't fit his ideal picture. They totally don't understand cuz i look so straight, but knowing i only have LRT with girls makes it easier. Those girls come to my parents house. I don't know if man are welcome, cuz i don't have LTR with guys, which by the way has nothing to do with my parents attitude.

Do your parents think its something you will grow out of? Does you dad ever address in any capacity that you have sex with men? Do they ever try to persuade you one way? I only ask this simply because i will be in this situation too. LOL my dad is the type to say something stupid like "you let guys fuck you in the ass" .... and i guess i wonder how to open and honest, but in the same notion defend and be proud of who i am..................

Only three of my co-workers know I'm bi and two have no problems with it. The other one happens to be my bf.

I really feel I am mostly gay... Cause I dont know if having a crush on a few women categorize me as bisexual. But this being said, I only told a few friends I like some women. Otherwise, I only say I'm gay.

FAMILY_while my family is pretty close and supportive I've always been pretty independent my parents don't know most of my friends very well, plus they were brought up in strict religious housholds so im really not sure how it would go over
FRIENDS_ most of my friends know I dont come out and tell them but I dont hide it either
GF/BF_ havent told any of them dont know how they would take it the last one probally couldov hanndled it but you never know do you?
WORK_ only the friends at work know (the real true friends) not just"work friends dont really get into my personal life with coworkers
PUPLIC_ dont really care if people know or not its not their life
